Personally I find lots of RAM more cost effective. If you've got a moderate amount then a slow commit time in fstab lets the kernel batch writes wisely. If you've got plenty of RAM (my machine has 64GB) then a good sized tmpfs (32GB here) mounted at TMPDIR (the local.conf setting, not /tmp) in with rm_work means you literally have no I/O latency. To persist files either copy them out or for example set DEPLOY_DIR to a real disk. Ross
